Chapter 165: The Golden Statue

On August 9, 1006, the era of innovation, the Weihai Research Institute of the Guangfu Army.

"Good news! Good news! The new emperor has ascended the throne! The new emperor has ascended the throne! The enthronement ceremony will be broadcast live nationwide at nine o'clock......

Early in the morning, the institute's radio sounded, informing everyone to watch the live broadcast on time.

As an official organization, of course, this kind of thing cannot be ignored, and Deputy Director Luo Lengguo asked the office to notify all employees yesterday.

However, Su Lei was not in the institute today, because he was an imperial baron, and according to etiquette, of course such a major celebration could not be absent, so he had just returned from Parrot Island and went to the capital to attend the ceremony a few days later.

According to the ritual system, the fiefdom nobles had to contribute to the new emperor the local products of their own domain and "gold". Ritual wine and a sum of money for ceremonial services.

This kind of offering is symbolic, and the quantity is not too much, but it must be produced in one's own fiefdom.

It is an ancient practice for the princes to offer gold to the Son of Heaven, and "drunk" is the ceremonial wine used for sacrifices, which is also carefully brewed with the production of their own fiefdoms, as for grain wine, fruit wine or milk wine, it doesn't matter.

"Gold" is the aid fund. This requires gold, and the fineness cannot be lower than that of the Imperial standard gold coins, and the weight is calculated according to the permanent population of the fief. According to the Great Xia Law, the subsidy is one penny (5 grams) per 100 people, one tael (50 grams) per 1,000 people, and the part less than 100 people is rounded.

However, Great Xia was already strong and rich, and there was no need to exploit the princes like the ancient court. Therefore, the subsidy is not collected every year, but once every three years, and once when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the emperor dies and the crown prince is canonized.

The permanent population of Dandingshan Town in Sulei is less than 15,000, so he should have offered about 15 taels of gold this time. Originally, there was a preferential treatment for a nobleman like Su Lei, who had been enthroned for less than three years, but Su Lei was not short of money now, and he felt that the prince was also very good, so naturally he didn't save it.

So he asked the chief manager to exchange 15 taels of gold, and then cast a golden statue, plus ten pieces of milk wine and fruit wine, as the gold for this time. The souvenirs of the tribute were blankets, horns, cheese, cowhides and sheepskins, etc., and the best ones were selected and prepared for a cart.

Xia Jing.

When the enthronement ceremony was broadcast live across the country, Su Lei also put on a full costume and stood in the square with a group of imperial nobles to watch the enthronement ceremony.

This ritual doesn't matter what Su Lei does, he just needs to stand here as a human flesh backdrop.

Accompanied by melodious music, the crown prince, who changed into a twelve-chapter gown and a crown, no, the new son of heaven, slowly walked up to the twelve-fold high platform.

He walked to Emperor Xuanwu, who was already waiting on the stage, and knelt down, and bowed three times and bowed nine times. Then with Emperor Xuanwu, he sacrificed to heaven and earth and ancestors. Then he handed over to him twelve items symbolizing the emperor, such as the heirloom jade seal, the sword of the Son of Heaven, the Nine Dragons token, and the golden Yue.

Subsequently, Emperor Xuanwu finally announced as emperor that he would withdraw from the Qianqing Palace on the same day and move into the Anle Palace to retire for the rest of his life. The new emperor moved out of the East Palace and entered the Qianqing Palace. Let the subjects of the world pledge their allegiance to the new emperor.

When the new emperor is equipped with the sword of the Son of Heaven and raises the jade seal of the country to his subjects, it means that the throne of this generation has been successfully passed on, and the new Son of Heaven is born!

"Long live my emperor! long live!

All the subjects bowed to the new emperor.

Then in the midst of the music, the master of ceremonies' ceremonial department announced the end of the ceremony, and the evening was the banquet, and the new emperor feasted the ministers.

After leaving the square, Su Lei said to Chen Mei: "It's a pity that Xiuxue didn't come this time, otherwise you can eat elephants again......

"Xiuxue's hibernation time comes so quickly, this is less than a year old...... "Chen Mei also expressed surprise.

Yes, Xiu Xue entered a state of long sleep before coming to Beijing, and it is estimated that she will sleep for more than ten days to several months.

This kind of long sleep is the unique growth mode of the true dragon, just like the larval pupation, the real dragon will also usher in amazing changes during this long sleep period. Not only is the body growing at a high speed, the development of internal organs is accelerating, and the ability in all other aspects will be improved by leaps and bounds.

But this kind of long sleep of the real dragon is not something you want to have, generally speaking, only when you cross the age group, there will be a long sleep of different times.

The age groups of normal true dragons are divided into: young dragon stage (0-5 years old), baby dragon stage (6-15 years old), juvenile stage (16-25 years old), adolescent stage (26-50 years old), youth stage (51-100 years old), adult stage (101-200 years old), prime period (201-400 years old), old age stage (401-600 years old), very old age stage (601-800 years old), ancient dragon (801-1000 years old), ancient dragon (1001-1200 years old), ancient dragon (over 1200 years old) 。

Most true dragons (referring to tabula rasa dragons without a profession) can only live to the ancient dragon stage, and all dragons with a lifespan of more than 1,000 years have a career. The age after the primeval dragon depends on the specific type, the ultimate lifespan of the lower true dragon is generally more than 2,000 years to 3,000 years, and the upper true dragon can reach 4,000 to 5,000 years. If you want to break through the limit of lifespan, you can only advance to the "God Dragon" and become a god-like existence.

Of course, this refers to the fact that under normal circumstances, the whiteboard dragon people will sleep according to their age group, and dragons like Xiu Xue, who have templates and gold fingers, don't need to refer to this at all, these chosen dragons, as long as they grow to a top stage, will automatically trigger the sleep program and enter a state of super-speed transformation.

Normal young dragons will not sleep for the first time until they are five years old, but because Xiu Xue is a "candidate dragon god", plus she eats well and eats well, the speed of transformation is definitely faster than that of normal dragons.

Su Lei smiled: "Hehe, Xiu Xue is different from other families' true dragons, she is special, and it is normal for her to grow faster......"

Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is a tribute and a golden ...... from Baron Dandingshan" In one of the treasury rooms of the palace placed the tribute sent by Su Lei.

"Okay, in the future, everything sent by Su Qing will be seen in person. Su Qing's gifts should be stored separately, not mixed with other people's offerings......" The new emperor instructed his attendants.

"Yes, Your Majesty......" the attendant hurriedly wrote down. At the same time, I was also sighing in my heart, what is the origin of this Baron Sulei, this is simply unprecedented treatment.

Originally, of course, there was no such procedure, and it was impossible for the emperor to personally inspect the tributes in various places, let alone store them separately. More than 100 years after the founding of Great Xia, Su Lei was the first to have this kind of treatment.

Those souvenirs and drinks didn't see anything famous, and the new emperor even tasted some. But when he saw the box of gold, he got some kind of hint in his heart. He himself went up and opened the box, revealing a small golden figure inside.

There are no restrictions on the size and shape of this kind of gold, only the amount and purity meet the standard. Therefore, there are all kinds of shapes, there are simple and unpretentious gold bricks and gold bars, and the ones that are particular about it are offered in the form of gold utensils, and the lazy ones even use gold coins directly. Su Lei thought that the new emperor was good, so he put a little effort into making a little golden man.

15The gold figure made of two taels of gold was not large, but it was like an abstract human form, which could be seen to imitate the bronze figurines of antiquity. The craftsmanship is good, but it's just good.

But as soon as the new emperor saw something, his eyes straightened......
